Willits Charter School Family & Student Handbook 2020 WILLITS CHARTER SCHOOL FAMILY & STUDENT HANDBOOK 2020-2021 1431 South Main St., Willits, CA 95490 Tel (707) 459-5506 Fax (707) 459-5576 https://www.willitscharter.org/ Like us on at Willits Charter: A Public School for the Arts & Sciences WCS Mission & Vision Mission The mission of Willits Charter School is to enable students in grades 6-12 to reach their fullest potential by providing them with a high-quality, personalized education in a safe and supportive environment. We strive to inspire students to embrace their curious, creative nature and be self-motivated, competent, life-long learners. We encourage students to become productive citizens who respect themselves, others, community, diversity, and the environment. Vision Willits Charter School maintains high academic standards while respecting the unique qualities of all learners. Our commitment to teaching individual responsibility as well as compassion and respect for self and others motivates all of our educational policies and procedures. We encourage students to reach for new heights in learning and to embrace challenges as opportunities, seeking their own positive solutions and find personal fulfillment as a result of their efforts. Our faculty, staff and board embody the school’s mission and vision providing both expertise and passion in their fields. We incorporate the arts, humanities, sciences and physical education throughout our curriculum at all levels. We are firmly committed to literacy and we encourage critical thinking in every subject. Willits Charter School is a place where families are actively involved in the formal education of their children. We recognize that every stakeholder plays an important role in a student’s academic success as well as personal development, and we work cooperatively with families to ensure that success. Program Overview WCS is an intentionally small, independent charter school serving grades 6 through 12. Like all charter schools, we are open to all who wish to attend, we do not charge tuition, teach religious doctrine, or discriminate in admissions policies. Our curriculum aligns with the standards adopted by the state of California (including Common Core and the Next Generation Science Standards) and students participate in annual standardized tests (CAASPP and the California Physical Fitness Test). Our original charter was granted in 1998 by Willits Unified School District and was unanimously renewed for 5 years in 2002, 2007, 2012, and again in 2017. WCS functions as its own school district and is not a part of the Willits Unified School District. Willits Charter School is a Western Association of Schools and Colleges ( WASC ) fully accredited Middle and High School. 1 Governance The Charter School Association of Willits Board of Directors determines the general policies of the school, conducts long term strategic planning, ensures that the school achieves its educational and financial goals, and governs WCS. The Board is composed of 5-11 members representing both parents and the community at large. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors occur on the first Tuesday of each month, at 4:00 p.m. during the school year (summer meeting times are subject to change) to discuss policy and procedural matters relevant to the school. These meetings are open to the public and the agenda is posted in front of the school at least 72 hours in advance. Parents may submit agenda items for discussion to the director of the school or any board member. The director implements the policies of the Board and oversees the day-to-day operations of the school. Charter School Association of Willits Board of Directors Eric Glassey (President) Aura de la Fuente (Vice President) Kay Moen (Treasurer) Larry Aguire (Secretary) Sally Rulison (Member) Jackie Lopez (Member) Sequoia Beebe (Member) April Davis (Member) Jackie Cobbs (Member) Family Involvement Our school was founded on the principle of family involvement, which benefits both the school and our students. By giving time and effort to the school, parents/guardians show that they value education, which encourages students to value it as well. Parent presence also helps many students feel more comfortable at school and gives families a chance to be active in their children’s academic life. Willits Charter School seeks to make education a community passion. We believe that parent participation is essential to the success of the education process. The Charter's mission is to develop students who are competent, confident, productive and responsible young adults. This mission cannot be accomplished without the active and ongoing support of the entire charter community. WCS parents/guardians agree to be active participants in the school community and to attend school functions such as parent-teacher conferences, student study team meetings, portfolio conferences, Back to School Night, and special celebrations such as the Harvest Lunch and end of the year BBQ. We depend upon the help of parents/guardians in practical ways: as class parents, groundskeepers, 2 repair persons, classroom aides, yard supervision, tutors, event organizers, fundraising support, drivers for field trips, maintenance etc. WCS offers a range of opportunities to volunteer at the school. Volunteer hours can be spent on activities involving the students, educators, or the school site. The following are a few of the many ways families can be involved: Education - Volunteers coordinate with the educators directly. ● In-class support as an educator aide (with fingerprinting clearance) ● Outside research in support of specific school projects ● Substitute/Guest teaching for electives or Friday Academy classes ● Driving/chaperoning (with dmv clearance) on field trips ● Hosting a lunch club ● Coaching an after-school sport ● Organizing or supporting a community service project for students Administrative support - Volunteers coordinate with the Administrative staff. ● Supervision at WCS, brunch/lunch periods, front desk, library, yard, parking lot ● Operational support Committees/Teams - Volunteers coordinate with the Administration. ● Committee/Team involvement ● Attending monthly Parent Association meetings ● Participating in groups such as the School Site Council, WASC, LCAP, etc. Maintenance - Volunteers coordinate with the Administrative staff. ● Maintenance of the Charter School site ● Groundskeeping/landscaping Fundraising- Volunteers assist Event Lead, coordinate with Administrative staff. ● Securing needed donations from community businesses ● Preparing gift baskets or auction items ● Assisting at a booth at a local event promoting WCS ● Providing services for events: painting, electrical, makeup, costumes, music, cooking, cleaning, transporting of items, face painting, ect. ● Donating baked goods or decorations for a fundraiser or event Science Fair- Coordinate with Science Teachers ● Assisting students with projects ● Judging at the local Willits Science Fair and the Mendocino County Science Fair ● Shuttle driving students to and from the local Science Fair ● Donating and delivering snacks for the local Science Fair We recommend that parents volunteer the following number of hours annually: ● One child - 40 hours ● Each additional student - 20 hours per student ● Independent study student – 20 hours per student *Volunteering for a specific duty or task requires total dependability. Educators & other parents must be able to plan & schedule events or courses based on reliable volunteers. 3 School Staff Administration Jennifer Lockwood, Director Jason Erlick, Business Manager Office Staff Wendy Copperfield, School Secretary Vanessa Hernandez, Library Technician Ashley Rodriguez, School Registrar Faculty and Staff Jillian Anderson-Rano - 8th Grade Math, CP Algebra I, CP Algebra II, CP Geometry Patrick Bryant - 6th & 7th Grade Science and Math Becky Button - 6th - 8th grade Independent Study, ELL Coordinator Michel Chenelle - 6th & 7th Grade English and Social Studies, Journalism/Yearbook Monica Grossman - Geometry Essentials Billy Hetherington - Middle School Drama, Student Leadership, CP Theatre Arts, Facilities Management and School Counselor Katie Lacy - Food Services Director Erin Mendoza - School Counselor Max Mosher - 8th - 12th Grade English Sienna Reno - Middle School Art, CP Painting and Drawing Ashley Rodriguez - Face Painting Christopher Scott - CP/AP US History, CP World History and Geography, Algebra A, 8th grade Social Studies, Geography Lindy Topolinski - 8th Grade Math, CP Algebra I, CP Algebra II, CP Geometry Jordan Uggla - Technology Coordinator, MS Coding Instructor Melody Ulrich - Educational Specialist, Middle School Math, Algebra B Erin Vaccaro - Academic Counselor, CP/AP Environmental Science, 8th Grade Science, CP Chemistry, Senior Seminar/Life Skills 4 Student Attendance Attendance WCS parents/guardians agree to support the school by ensuring that their children are in school/online/engaging in Independent Study every day unless they are sick or have an unavoidable emergency. This is the single most important thing you can do to support your child academically and the school financially. Parents/Guardians and students need to understand the importance of attendance, starting in the early grades and continuing through high school. Good attendance will help your children do well in high school, college and at work. Students can suffer academically if they miss 10 percent of school days or about 18 days; it doesn’t matter if these absences are excused or unexcused. They all represent lost time in the

ROTHER ABSTRACT Like Britain and continental Europe, the United States would utilize the poster to garner both funding and public support during World War I. While war has historically been considered a masculine endeavor, a relatively large number of these posters depict the female form. Although the use of women in American World War I visual propaganda may not initially seem problematic, upon further inspection it becomes clear that her presence often served to promote racial and national pretentiousness. Based on the works of popular pre-war illustrators like Howard Chandler Christy and Charles Dana Gibson, the American woman was the most attractive woman in the in the world. Her outstanding wit, beauty and intelligence made her the only suitable mate for the supposed racially superior American man. With the onset of war, however, the once entertaining romantic scenarios in popular monthlies and weeklies now represented what America stood to lose, and the “American Girl” would make the transition from magazine illustrations to war poster with minimal alterations.

  • Second Sunday in Lent
    Second Sunday in Lent February 27-28, 2021 Lent continues, pointing ahead to the ultimate and final sacrifice for sin to be offered by God for all people. The Old Testament Reading emphasizes God establishing His one-sided covenant with Abraham. It is one-sided because God brings all of the blessings to the relationship. Abram and Sarai, like all people, are simply on the receiving end of God’s bountiful blessings. The promises to both Abraham and Sarah are ultimately fulfilled in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is only through the King of kings, Jesus Christ, that Abraham and Sarah are the parents of “many nations” and “kings,” and that all nations of the earth are ultimately blessed. Of special emphasis, as reflected in the accompanying Lessons for this day, is the promise made by God to Abraham and Sarah that kings would come from them (Gen 17:6, 16). Through the lens of the accompanying Lessons for the day, emphasis is placed on the covenant components of nations and kings coming from Abraham and Sarah.

  • Adult Life. Kenneth and Beatrice Have Two Sons, William and Keith. William Was Born in Grafton, Apr
    adult life. Kenneth and Beatrice have two sons, William and Keith. William was born in Grafton, Apr. 21, 1952; Keith was born in Grafton, Nov. 2, 1953. They both attended grade school at Nash School Dist. No. 51, graduated from Grafton High School, and attended the State School of Science, Wahpeton, N. Dak. Keith married Bonnie Berg, daughter of Omar and Gerry Berg, at Munich, N. Dak,, on June 14, 1975. They have one son, Gavin William, born March 1 5, 1978, at Grafton. They live at Nash. Both William and Keith farm with Kenneth, their father. William lives on the farm. It has been a tradition in the Johnson family to ring the North Trinity Church bell at 6 p.m. Christmas Eve. This is now carried on by Kenneth Johnson and his sons, William and Keith Johnson. This tradition has been carried over from Kenneth's grandfather, Anton Johnson, and father, Oscar Johnson. With modern conveniences of a mobile telephone, and the help of a cousin, Robert Johnson, of Hoople, N. Dak., they have rung the bell to be heard in far-off places all over the U.S.A. People living near the North Trinity Church listen, too, as the bell rings out the "Glad Tidings of Christmas." LLOYD JOHNSON FAMILY Lloyd Johnson and Joyce Lindell were married Aug. 22, 1959, in Bemidji, Minn., at the First Lutheran Church. For a brief while after their marriage they resided in Grafton, but in Raymond Johnson receiving the Silver Oil Can Award from 1960 built a house near the middle branch of the Park River.
